We Converted A Tent Into A House
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Two years ago, we traded city life for a homestead on the land my family has cherished for over 100 years. In this video, we'll guide you through setting up a $500 tent we converted into a house that you can live in full-time. We'll show you that you can live in it all year round. Would you live in a tent long-term, or is it only suitable for camping trips?

You may want to put something between the wood platform and the tent. People put what's called a footprint under their tents to protect the bottom from ripping. Also you may want to put something under the legs of the bed and table so it doesn't rip the tent bottom. A cheap way would be take the lids off of food containers that you would normally recycle, you could even decorate it such as wrapping yarn around it or gluing beads, pebbles or little shells around the edges. Other options could be coasters, or at the very least heavy duty cloth such as denim or felt. If there's mosquitoes, maybe you could get some mosquito torches or candles. You'll need a few.
Such a good idea! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Wow❤❤❤
@@WillEdmond I forgot that I posted this. I'm glad that someone likes my ideas. I hope you two's business is successful and sustainable!
❤
It's rare to see a couple who looks so much alike. And that's a compliment gentlemen.
Sexy couple
Hey will, you might not ever read this, but I just graduated high school a week ago, and it’s been a wild ride, my graduation ceremony just finished yesterday too
I’ve been watching you for years now, ever since freshman year, ever since I found you on Snapchat with your plant based nuggets, and I fell in love with your personality and videos after I thought “I GOTTA FIND SOME MORE!” and I don’t regret it, your videos have gotten me through some tough times with your positivity, and even inspired me to start adding more plant based options to my diet, and I still remember trying your cauliflower wings for the first time, never looked back, those were divine and they still are!
I’m really happy as a fan to see you doing so well, and seeing you just enjoy a happy life in nature, and I even learned a bit about building stuff from you, now I finally have a reason to go to Home Depot! Seeing you get some puppies is also so wholesome, I’m a dog owner myself, and Labradors are the best things ever
I guess point is, thanks for still making videos throughout the years, they’re always worth the wait and as I’m writing this, this is my first day without ever having to look back at school for now, and I’m taking a gap year to help find myself and discover the world, I wanna connect with nature more and I want to find myself, and you inspired me to start my own garden, I’m trying to grow some flowers and some vegetables to start, and I’m hoping it’ll all go well
and I also wanna continue to watch your videos whenever I can, they’re always a way to brighten my day, and they’ve always inspired me to get out there some more! Seeing you finally get 100K subscribers was a long time coming, you deserve it, and I mean that
Sending love to you and Austin, always, great job you two!
That means a lot! Congrats on graduating that's a big accomplishment. And I appreciate you taking the time to support me and watch my videos. I try to answer all the comments I get. What are you growing in your garden and what state are you in? Taking a gap year off is important it allows you to discover new things. I did it in college and it helped me so much. Hope our paths cross soon.
@@WillEdmond Of course man! I’ve always loved your videos and I forgot to mention I actually bought a lot of plants, not fake, I water them, to decorate my house, inspired from you, especially helped during times I was quarantined
I’m in IL! I’m trying to grow some tomatoes, peppers and melons to start, I separated them that way they have room to grow. And for my flowers, I’ve got a standard wildflower mix
And yeah, I’m taking a gap year to find myself, discover hidden passions and pursuits and to travel, I’ve got a whole world I’ve always wanted to see, including the Mesa Verde, which I thank you for showing me, it looks so cool and I’ve always loved ancient history, so it was an instant sell for me
I’m glad a gap year worked out for you too!
Oh yeah, and for a fun side note, I’m in love with oat milk, it’s the best out there
What…!!!????? I got to go back and find their earlier videos! I want some cauliflower wings!
You 2 are a moment of Calm in this crazy world..thank you❤
Thank you for taking the puppies and give them a great life. They are beautiful.
Favorite part is just seeing you again after too long.
I know. Working on the land takes a lot of time. But don’t worry we have some new videos coming right after this one. ♥️
@@WillEdmond Will, you and Austyn have truly inspired a lot of people with getting back to nature and living off the grid. Your friends helping with the deck is a blessing. I just "pre-ordered" your new cookbook today! You're now "pet parents". God bless & keep you both. I've subscribed! (Those two black lab puppies are adorable! "Sesame"🐕& "Cumin"🐕)🔨🛠🦺🏕
Just a little suggestion. Put furniture pads underneath the legs of things that might move to save from tearing the floor of the tent (from experience😢). Great video.
😂🤣 The look on Austin's face when he saw the puppies..."why'd you get these dogs..." 😂🤣.. that's me when I'm gifted something I don't want.. 😂🤣
Indigenous people are living exactly like this in 2024 on the tundra of Siberia. I love learning about how they thrive on the tundra despite the brutal winter weather.
I began having some health problems. Grounding and sleeping on the floor like the Japanese has eliminated inflammation. Was thinking if i should sleep outside in a safari tent to further heal. Enjoying the setup as it helps me vision what id want to create as my own lil healing retreat ❤ just watching the video makes me happy
Come stay at our tent! Would love to host you.
You have such a lovely face and pleasant voice, I could watch your vids all day! I enjoy the content, it makes me wish I were younger and in better health so I could do this myself, but at least I can live vicariously through you fellows! Thank you for taking us along on your adventures. God. Bless and God's blessings. ❤. Xo
I’m glad you enjoyed this one Terri.
Thanks, lad. Perfect way to start a Sunday. Wishing you much success, and, on the land of your people. Absolutely love it! Cheers!
Meant to say lads! You guys are brilliant!
Thanks so much for watching Nik!
@@WillEdmond Cheers, Will mate!
OMG. I was just on twitter praising you and your page. I'm glad you guys are back, and the two new additions are beautiful
Tony you are always showing up and supporting! You’ve been here for a long time and I appreciate you so much.
Awwww... Welcome to the family, Sesame and Cumin! My favorite part of this video is the nature sounds while you're putting the bedframe together. It made me instantly relax and feel better. ❤
I just love this life that you're building together. And it's all the sweeter because it's on family land!
Awwwhh Lisa! We just love when you show up and give us all the compliments. We've been working hard and can't wait to share more with you.
Exactly how I’ve always imagined living- even the style you’ve chosen!! I’m in love!!
I love how peaceful your voice makes me feel.
What a beautiful life. My ideal life with my guy. So perfect.
With a few choppers and a live wire fence for sure. 🥴🤭😏💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿💜💞🤣

Wow bruh. Y'all are geniuses. I would have never thought to do this, let alone, I don't have the skills to do this.
You can do it bro! We can help you. Just stick around here we got more coming to show ya. We're thinking on another level. I don't want to ever pay a mortgage or rent ever. lol
@@WillEdmond Oh wow you got me seriously thinking about duplicating what y'all did. I have a vacant lot in a small rural town.
Beautiful video! I've been wanting to live this kind of lifestyle and seeing this video was just a confirmation I needed! ❤ Great job 👍🏻
You guys are glamping in style!
I enjoyed this so much- and those puppies are gorgeous!!! Just wanted to mention you might want to put a groundcloth or something over the deck and under the tent. Thanks so much for sharing your content!
Free pups!?! Lit
Yes and they are 100% Lab. I love them.
Always love the videos!!!! Now you have me ready to go camping... 😫😫😫
Great video and great seeing you again
So glad you enjoyed this one as well.
I loved everything! You both are very talented 🫶🏽❕🦋🍎
Thank you so much!!
What a delightful video of your lifestyle!! Puppies are a bonus and I’m excited to follow you two! ❤❤❤ from a new subscriber
Looks real nice and you’re doing a great job! Thanks for sharing!
Just found your channel. You guys have a soothing vibe. Love your puppies. Trying to achieve the same small lifestyle, too. Best of luck.
Thank you for being here. Minimalism and small living is the way to go.
Everything is so peaceful and beautiful. Do you have plan for building sticks and bricks home😊
I’m glad you love it! You got to stick around we got some special stuff in store. 😉
Oooh, you should buy a magnet detector for those rogue drill bits and nails
I didn't have one when I was working on the deck but I have one now! Best thing ever! Glad you enjoyed this video.
Waaaaaay cool guys!
I love it and I love your personalities and demeanor. ❤👍🏼
This is so amazing you are living your best life❤❤❤
You're adorable and wonderful, keep enjoying life the way you do!
I like your voices. So mellow.
So wonderful! 😊
Love what you guys are doing but if you have harsh weather there at times you MIGHT wanna consider building a more permanent tiny home type structure while you have the tent to live in. The sun, storms, snow and ice, wind, etc etc… all take a big toll on tents. Even ones that are great quality when they are left up permanently just something to consider
Yes, I agree. We built the tent to live in to get the natural elements especially on these cooler days. You should check out our most recent video of our tiny home l.
Watching your video is so relaxing❤❤❤❤❤
I’m glad you loved it.
❤❤❤❤I see why the studies show men with men are happier . Look at y’all , all happy just building sh.t living in the woods ,peaceful lol beautiful home!!! I love this so much! I wish I could find a chill man to GLAMP with.❤❤❤❤ something beautiful about being in nature. I love to camp, it’s good for the soul. I’m so happy for y’all!!!!
My husband is too bougie to sleep outside 😒 I love it! I also have a memory foam mattress i take camping lol
Does That thing run the tv , kettle, ac and fridge ?
awesome videos guys, very well made. i will subscribe.
Thank you for watching!!
Nice homestead! ♥️
Thanks you for watching.
Thank you for sharing with us!
wow you guys did an awesome job it looks so cozy.but what i wonder is the weather like snow or storms ect .
Two black men enjoying each other's company and friendship... What is there not to like? 😊
New Sub❤ Loving this channel and the vibe is so soothing
Wonderful
how are you going to keep the skunks and armadillo's from getting under the platform. i know in east Texas they are a pain in the ass. great videos always giving me ideas. are you planning on adding a large cowboy hot tube ? i think it would look great out there .
?
The deck is sitting on the ground on cement blocks with treated wood. Armadillos and skunks can’t get under it. We plan on adding a hot tub.
It's been to long it's good to see ya again!!
Glad you are here to watch and support!
@@WillEdmond Been watching you since the train days with you and Donnielive!! Been missing you so glad to see you back and I see you guys have been way busy!
I love your setup and your fur babies
That is SOO cool, I love it! I could live in a place like that! What about super hot and super cold weather, though?
You can definitely live in it all season. When it's hot out we have a shade cloth over it + the A/C running and the temperature stays nice and comfortable inside. And during the winter you can place a wood burning stove in it as well or a small electric floor fan heater that keeps it toasty inside. Glad you loved the video too.
Awesome 👍😎👍, Tysm for sharing this video, much Love n Respect to Y'all's, from Honolulu Hawaii, Much Mahalo n Aloha
You are making me hungry eating that good food.😋 Great video.
When you said that block was heavy. 😂 well know I won't be doing this work. Lol
Stumbled across yall today and i love it! I especially love that yall around the arklatex!!! Love to see this!!! How did yall do with all this rain we've been having?
Glad you found us!! The rain is coming back next week. It’s been refreshing to me. My garden got flooded 🤪
Haha. I feel you on that! We are currently clear cutting land and it rains every weekend it feels. Lol lol
@@yourmellony I got a lot of mowing done yesterday because I just knew some rain would be coming soon.
Hey, Will, if you find those sheets scratchy at all, wash them. I never put sheets on my bed without washing them first for that reason. You know all textiles have sizing and stuff put into them by the manufacturers, and that gets rid of it.
Thanks for the info.
Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 🎊 it's so awesome what you are doing
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Love your Làb pups, good idea they will warn you of wild animals,!
Yes they do
no running water or toilet...
I'm sayin' exactly!!!
🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️
No shit.....
If we had running water and a running toilet we wouldn’t be able to catch it.
Kat, you ain’t saying nothing. 😭😭😭
Love it!
Thanks for being here and supporting!
I'm a woman from the city and I know how to build and survive in the wilderness. My job be having me in the middle of nowhere😅. That's why I don't know why people still live in shacks and other countries when you can just build it straight. 🤭🥴💜💞💞💞
Good video n luv da dogs. Could u tell me the brand of those bean bag chairs, plz? I tried to screenshot it, but it came out blurred. Appreciate u n keep on... keeping on. Sal🇮🇹😇🙏👍💪
@@s.davinci8537 They are called “Big Joe” I’m glad you enjoyed this video! Thanks for watching.
@WillEdmond TY 4da info, but I can't afford em or any furniture for my mobile home. I live off of SSD, recently divorced n my service dog passed away, 2wks ago. Appreciate u, tho.🙏✌️
I like your tent house. Good job
Glad you are enjoying all of our videos.
Love this idea and thinking of putting one in my backyard as a rental. I am not sure if I missed a video, but what do you do for bathroom and showers? Also, do you have to worry about the Texas high winds? I am worried about the Tent picking up and flying away!
We do have showers and bathrooms. We will include that in our next video. And they hold up great in the wind. The tent is attached to the deck so it's not going anywhere. It makes a great rental.
Im so in love with this and you two 💯🖤✊🏿 im kinda jelly tho 💃🏿
I could listen to y’all read the telephone book.🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
